“We used Suzanna for a last minute six-day house sitting with a dog & cat, and she was outstanding. Very friendly, excellent communication, professional and reliable. We were totally confident our pets were in good hands. Highly recommend her for any pet care needs, and we will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Suzanna!”
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”
“Tori took great care of our home and dogs. We were able to go away camping for a weekend while our house and dogs were in her safe hands. They played outside and got a ton of energy out. We will be having her watch them again in the future.”
“Karen provided on-site petsitting approximately 10 days for us. We recently relocated to our new home from out of state and the extended time away from the pets was sure to be a challenge. We are very grateful for the assistance provided by Karen. Upon our return, all was good. The pets appeared clean, happy and healthy.”
“Cindy went out of her way to make sure my dog felt comfortable with her before we had her stay at the house. She was very responsive to communication and sent pictures which I appreciated greatly.”

About: I have had cats ever since I was little and have also worked in a cat rehoming and adoption center! I also love dogs and am comfortable walking them and tending to their needs. I’m a teacher on summer break so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and give them all the attention and care they need! I am not able to board dogs where I currently live (due to my lease) but I can travel to you and give all the services needed! I am comfortable traveling to homes as well as boarding kitties.
About: I have been house and pet sitting since I was in high school. Friends, family, and neighbors are always asking if I can care for their animals and homes! I used to shadow a family friend who had a pet sitting business and I loved tagging along! I work full time as a teacher, but I get off at 2:35 so my weekdays have free afternoons and evenings. Weekends are completely free and I’ll be able to care for your pets any time of day. I can easily commute to your home to care for your pet. I don’t mind transporting your pets if needed. I will take great care and consideration when entering your home and ensure safety, fun and love for your pets!
“Keyaira is fantastic! My dogs were so happy when we returned home and they are not easy to keep. (One of my dogs is neurotic!) Will only hire Keyaira from now on and have recommended her to many people.”
About: As a passionate pet lover, I’ve dedicated myself to providing reliable and compassionate care for pets of all ages. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I understand the unique needs of puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets. Whether it's a playful puppy needing attention and training, or a senior pet requiring gentle care and special attention, I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I pride myself on my personal, hands-on approach and always treat your pets like family. With 5 dogs of my own, I’ve developed a well-organized routine that ensures all their needs are met. I feed my dogs twice a day, and each one gets plenty of playtime, walks, and potty breaks. Whether it's keeping up with their daily exercise or giving them personal attention, I’m used to managing multiple pets and ensuring they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I bring this same level of care and dedication to every pet I look after. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet I care for, whether in my home or yours. My home is pet-friendly and designed to ensure a safe environment for dogs of all sizes. I make sure that all pets are kept in secure areas, especially during feeding times and walks. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your pet's routine, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space. I also ensure that any areas where pets will be spending time are pet-proofed, offering peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve spent years running my own business, which has taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every client with care — including the four-legged ones. I’ve always loved animals and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just giving them extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. At this time, I’m offering overnight in-home care. I currently work full-time during the day, so pets should be comfortable being home for extended periods and able to go 10+ hours overnight without needing potty breaks. Outside of work hours, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, playtime, and companionship to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. This will eventually be adjusted as my schedule changes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I make communication, attentiveness, and reliability a priority. I’ll always respect your pet’s routines, boundaries, and needs while creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for.
“Kayleigh was great and communicated about our pets needs and sent pictures. When we got home the animals were happy because they had been loved on and she left the house picked up which was great. We will definitely be reaching out in the future!”
About: I’ve had 13 years of pet care experience, including walking, bathing, and grooming! We’re very interactive with the pets, with at least one family member home at all times. I am currently at a law firm in Fairfax. I will be home in the mornings and evenings every day, with flexible availability. I can come to you anywhere in the Warrenton/Marshall/Bealeton/Gainesville area. We have a fenced-in yard and crating available (if requested or necessary for your pet). We have a young Golden Retriever who loves to play and swim in the pool! If the pool will be an issue for your pup, we will avoid the backyard and stick to walks & the front yard!
“We had an amazing experience with Farrin as our pet sitter for our dog, Taco. She took excellent care of him overnight, making sure to give him plenty of playtime and cuddles while we were away. Farrin was respectful of our home, leaving everything clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. She even came by for a meet and greet before the booking, giving us peace of mind. We would absolutely book with Farrin again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,367 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orlean. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Orlean walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Orlean maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Orlean choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
